Tlie teaching of Hebrew is indispen¬ sable fur inany reasons. It is vital, m the first place, for the niainteiiance ol sound Orthodoxy. Without a knowledge of Hebrew, the large Orthodox group soon ceases to be. It is all very well to argue that under such circumstances the Orthodox communicants will then seek naturally to enter the ranks of Re¬ form Judaism. But tbe facts in the ca.'jc are .otherwise. WJiat aotiially happens is that the greater number lose all affilia¬ tion with the .synagogue and join forces with the glidless. In other words, the support of Hebrew knowledge makes for the continuation of a large branch of Jewish religious hfe. .Aiiyijue wlio has at heart at all an appreciation of Jewish religious values, or for that matter, the spirit of religion in our midst should,

Leo Rowc, director of llie Pan Anicrican Union, has balanced that body's budget—not to mention the declaring of a six per cent dividend on all preferred stock by the Iowa Jcwisli .Vew.s—we see that the clouds of dcpres- .sion are actually lifting:..In the town of Haverstraw, N.

I have always felt, in the second place, that those who have acquired a know- r.ouis Sobol's varied parcer; Jedge of Hebrew, humble though it be ill tlieir youth, are the more likely to feel I sense of kiliship with the whole House of Israel as well as with the Synagogue. Of course, there are exceptions to this general statement. The knowledge of tlubrew, or rather tJie influence of this training, ¦strciig;thens Jewish sentiment and loyalties. We have today, and I think we will have for many generations to come, great need for the widespread existence-of a strong sense of Jewish fellow-feeling and responsibility. The siipimrt <if the Hebrew Schools means, therefore, an investment in Jewish co¬ operation and fellow-helpfulness.
When a School so in<lisi)ciisahle and valuable as this is in dire inoneUry need, the time is inOst inopportune to raise tpustion or to quibble about some of the aspects of its philosophy. Personally, I do not agree with some elements in its lioint of view, but I ilo not think it is fail- to the central theme at this time to raise challenging (juestions. This as¬ pect of the matter I reserve for .some future coii.sideration, and I Impe by ctnn- muiiity agreenieiit such questions will, in the cinir.se uf events, be satisfactorily solved. The i»ai'i thought, which 1 wish to re-emphasizc, is the needfulness of this School in our city. It deserves oiir aid. To give it supiKirt is a duty which (k-volvts ui>oif us: we owe it to ourseU-es and to those who come after us to aid this worthy enlerinise,

^iy judgment is that tiie lethargy'and laclc c>f interest in and towar'tl Jiidaisiii among the youn:.i;er, and even older mem¬ bers uf our faith, is due alnio.st entirely to lack of understanding, eilucation, and ignorance concerning the literature, his¬ tory and tradition of our |)eople. There are inaiiy who feelas the great lamented Louis Marshall, has so well said: "More iinpurtant even than hus|Htals, oriihaii asylums, home for tbe aged and all other l>hilaiithr<ipic institutions, however valu¬ able, religious education is the most vital need of any Jewish community. OrthO- (kix, ultra-Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews, every Jew, must support our Jewish institiitions of learning."
'Liie Coinmbus Hebrew School is the iiistitiition ;in Columbus which offers the possibilities of carrying on a program of Jeuisb education. Many of our pco|ilc, maybe out of sympathy with its curricti- luni, its location, or perhaps some of its metliod.s—be that'as it may, it fnniis the nucleus for the development of a proper program of Jewish education in Ihe City of Cuhimbns, and to the> end of its de- velo|)nient an<l its nu'demization every loyal jvw ill the cniniimiiity should lend it his support.

Representative jews .from all sections of Columbus Jewry are co- uj)erating witli these gentlemen in this drive. Rabbi Samuel M.

"Jewish education," asserted Kabbi Gup, "is tiie paramount issue pf Jewish life iu America. If we want to train our youth in the path of Judaism, if we want to teach our children our history, our Bible, and aur IToly language, we mu.st establish and support Talmud Torahs conducted nn the mostmodern pedagogic methods."

"Those err greatly," .said Raiibi Hirsch¬ sprung, "who imagine that all that is asked of the Jew is to give an intellectual assent to soniu abstract proposition of the mind such as tbe Unit> of God.

,|{abbi Kelizer*s Statement
Rabbi Nathan Zelizer. of the Uroad Street Temple, declared that this is a wonderful opportunity, for the Jewish people of Columbus to show their true colors.
'¦'They can serve God best," declared Rabbi Zelizer, "by helping to [icrpetuatc the divine teachings hallowed by time and eternity. - We dare not neglect the in¬ struction of our young people. They must be imbued with tluise principles w'ithniit which Judaism is a sham and a mockery, The Columbus Hebrew School is a public institution and it deserves pub¬ lic support given in an unstinted and un¬ grudging manner. ]n order that it may accomplish the greatest itmoinit of good, it must get besides financial security al^i) the .'services, and the cooperption, the roundel and the a<ilvice of every intelli¬ gent Jewish resident of this city. 1 liave no ilniibt but that every Jew in Cohmibns u'lin is approached will do his duty with ¦A grateful heart that Cod has given him the nie-aus with which t" lJel|> a great cause."
Rabbi Greenwald'ti Statement
Rabbi Leoiijild Greenwahl nf the Beth Jaeob Congregation in bis public state¬
ment asserted that it is treason to neg¬ lect Jewish learning. The Rabbi said that he kne\v of "no more worthy caiisc than the Columbus Hebrew School where the fundaniciital |)riuciples of , our an¬ cestral faith arc being taught to our young ,]ieopIe in their formative .year.s. Unless wc impress our boys and girls with the nobility of our race and the grandeur of Our religion and our culture, . their loyalty in later life will; be very weak indeed. .\ Jew who docs not pos¬ sess an understanding of Jewish values is a liability. Tbe ta.sk of the Columbus Hebrew Sciiool is not only to familiarize its pupils with the Ribic and the Hebrew language, but also to prepare them for leadership in Isrjtel. I have no, hesita¬ tion in declaring thai if we all work to¬ gether in a spirit of concord and har- niony. the present drive will go over in a big way and the Talmud Torah's future will be . safeguarded," eOncbuled Rabbi Greenwald.
Schanfarber's Endorsement F.dwin J.' Schanfarber who baa heeii a friend of the Cnhiinhus Hebrew School ever since it.s iiice]ition not only has made a splendid pledge hut has also come out with a iniblic statement urging Co¬ inmbus Jewry to unite and assist the campaign chairmen in.iuitting their nici.n- bership drive over successfully.
"I am',.familiar with tbe program of- the Talmud Tnrab," said Mr. Schanfar¬ ber, "and know that it has done much in this community for the advancement of Jewish ideals and the promotion of Jew¬ ish'culture. It is helping to raise up a l)Ody of Jews familiar with their past and prepared to cope with their problems of the future. I am confident that our coniT nmnal life will grow richer socially, cul¬ turally and religiously if we advance tlie cause of Jewish education In Columbus.. The tendency nf tbe Cohiinbus Heiircw School is not only lo preserve our an¬ cestral faith but alrfo to make better men and better Jews."

The Rabbi said that he kne\v of "no more worthy caiisc than the Columbus Hebrew School where the fundaniciital |)riuciples of , our an¬ cestral faith arc being taught to our young ,]ieopIe in their formative .year.s. Unless wc impress our boys and girls with the nobility of our race and the grandeur of Our religion and our culture, . their loyalty in later life will; be very weak indeed. .\ Jew who docs not pos¬ sess an understanding of Jewish values is a liability. Tbe ta.sk of the Columbus Hebrew Sciiool is not only to familiarize its pupils with the Ribic and the Hebrew language, but also to prepare them for leadership in Isrjtel. I have no, hesita¬ tion in declaring thai if we all work to¬ gether in a spirit of concord and har- niony. the present drive will go over in a big way and the Talmud Torah's future will be . safeguarded," eOncbuled Rabbi Greenwald.

It is helping to raise up a l)Ody of Jews familiar with their past and prepared to cope with their problems of the future. I am confident that our coniT nmnal life will grow richer socially, cul¬ turally and religiously if we advance tlie cause of Jewish education In Columbus..
